Scientific Summary
Eclipta alba, also known as “false daisy,” is an annual herb whose dried leaves and stems are used in herbal preparations. It is traditionally taken to support liver health, soothe skin inflammation and aid wound healing, and it is sometimes used internally to ease mild digestive upset. Use with caution if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications that affect liver function or blood clotting; high doses may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
